Long durational performance and ongoing project by BBB Johannes Deimling

The status that performance art has reached today and the attention that this art form receives by now would have not been achieved without the intense work of all those who have worked in this art form for many many years and often dedicated their entire lives to it. Many of these artists are not living anymore. The memorial for deceased performance- and action artists is a tribute to the works and the effort of those that allow us to manifest our positions today. Visitors of the memorial are very welcome to bring flowers and wreaths and light candles in remembrance. I ask NOT to show performances at the Memorial but to silently remember those who still move us and who have developed and characterized this wonderful form of art.

description of action: I stand on a small socle and hold signs with names, birth and death dates of deceased performance- and actionartists for a couple of minutes in front of me.
